SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Causes severe irritation and burns. May be harmful if swallowed. May be harmful if
absorbed through the skin. Avoid breathing vapor or dust. Use with adequate
ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothes. Wash thoroughly after
handling.
FIRST AID: SKIN: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with water for at least
15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Thoroughly clean
clothing and shoes before reuse. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
EYES: Wash eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lids
occasionally. Seek Medical Aid. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen
INGESTION: Get medical attention immediately. Wash out mouth with water. Move
exposed person to fresh air. If exposed person is conscious, give small quantities
of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel.
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire Extinguisher Type:
Fire / Explosion Hazards:
Fire Fighting Procedure:
Any means suitable for extinguishing
surrounding fire
None
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
to prevent contact with skin and clothing.
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Absorb spill with inert material, then place in a chemical waste
container. Neutralize with a weak base.
Personal precautions: Immediately contact emergency personnel. Keep
unnecessary personnel away. Use suitable protective equipment.
Environmental precautions: Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff
and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers.
Methods for cleaning up: If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain
spilled material. For small spills, add absorbent (soil may be used in the
absence of other suitable materials), and use a non-sparking or explosionproof means to transfer material to a sealable, appropriate container for
disposal. For large spills, dike spilled material or otherwise contain

Sulfuric Acid 10% v/v
material to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material
in an appropriate container for disposal.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Avoid breathing
vapors or mist. Wash thoroughly after handling.
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator.
Ventilation Local Exhaust
Mechanical
Protective Gloves: Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure
Eye Protection: Goggles, Face Shield
Other Protective Equipment: Wear appropriate clothing to prevent skin exposure

Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.
Engineering measures: Use only with adequate ventilation. If user
operations generate dust, fumes, vapor or mist, use process enclosures,
local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker
exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory
limits.
Personal Protection
Eyes: Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used
when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to
liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts.
Recommended: splash goggles, face shield
Skin: Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based
on the task being performed and risks involved and should be approved by a
Page 3 of 7
Sulfuric Acid 10% v/v
specialist before handling this product.
Body recommended: chemical-resistant protective suit and gloves
Respiratory: Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator
complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated
exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of
the selected respirator.
Recommended: Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator
complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated
exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of
the selected respirator.
Hands: Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved
standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a
risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
Hygiene measures: Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after
handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory
and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be
used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated
clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers
are close to the workstation location.
